The highest-"ranking" country in Europe is mine: #Germany.
»The China Index seeks to establish an interactive world map that visualizes the PRC‘s evolving influence in different countries. The Index captures PRC influence across nine Domains: #Academia, Domestic Politics, #Economy, Foreign Policy, #Law Enforcement, #Media, #Military, #Society, and #Technology. Each of these Domains contains 11 Indicators corresponding to an observable phenomenon of PRC influence, and presents comparable data collected by regional partners through collaboration with local experts.«

The terror, the protests and the reunion: Efrat Machikawa's life since the Israel-Hamas war
The family of Machikawa's uncle, 80-year-old Gadi Moses, taken hostage from southern Israel by Hamas in their October 2023 attack, waited nearly 500 days for him to return home.Jessica Speed (The Japan Times)
“Democracy or capitalism? Pick one.
If, like me, you grew up in the 80s, you probably unthinkingly accepted the neoliberal maxim that democracy and capitalism go hand-in-hand. This is one of the greatest lies ever told. Democracy and capitalism are polar opposites.
You cannot have a functional democracy and billionaires and trillion-dollar corporate interests and Silicon Valley’s Big Tech misinformation and exploitation machinery. What we’re seeing is the clash of capitalism and democracy and capitalism is winning.
Are we past a tipping point? I don’t know. Perhaps. But we can’t think like that.
Personally, I’m going to keep working to effect change where I feel I can be effective: in creating alternative technological infrastructure to support individual freedoms and democracy.
We’ve already laid the infrastructure of techno-fascism. We’ve already created (and are creating) the panopticons. All the fascists need to do is move in and take the controls. And they will do so democratically, before destroying democracy, just as Hitler did.
And if you think the 1930s and 40s were something, remember that the most advanced tools to amplify the destructive ideologies of the time were less powerful than the computers you have in your pockets today. Today we have machine learning and are on the brink of unlocking quantum computing.
We must ensure the 2030s are not like the 1930s. Because our advanced centralised systems of data capture, classification, and prediction plus a hundred years of exponential increase in processing power (note: I do not use the word “progress”) mean the 2030s will be exponentially worse.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, we have a common enemy: the nationalist international. The problems of our time transcend national borders. The solutions must also. The systems we build must be both local and global at once. The network we must build is one of solidarity.
We created the present. We will create the future. Let’s work together to ensure that that future is the one we want to live in ourselves.”
– In 2020 and beyond, the battle to save personhood and democracy requires a radical overhaul of mainstream technology

And that’s why I’m working on building the Small Web.
https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/
With ZERO funding from the EU and multiple rejections from NLNet/ngi (because they still don’t get it).
https://ar.al/2022/10/20/nlnet-grant-application-for-domain-rejected/
(That’s from 2022. We were also rejected in 2024 for my work on Kitten, Domain, and Place as outlined in my talk, linked below, but I was too tired to write about it again.)
https://ar.al/2024/06/24/small-web-computer-science-colloquium-at-university-of-groningen/
So for fuck’s sake, if you agree with my vision for a technological (and thus societal) future different from the hellscape we currently inhabit, and want to help us explore one possible path towards it, please fund our damn work. (Because, clearly, the EU is adamant about not doing so.)
https://small-tech.org/fund-us/
Other ways to help:
- If you know of folks that are ethically compatible who offer no strings funding, please try to secure some for us (my time is 100% spent on coding at the moment).
- If you know of conferences that pay their speakers, ask them to have me speak on the Small Web. It can be as technical or non-technical as you like and I won’t do it for free but I’m happy to accept, within reason, what they can afford (in addition to travel and accommodation being covered) and any fees received go to Small Technology Foundation, our not-for-profit.
- Help share this far and wide.
Once Domain is released and we have the first Small Web host running on small-web.org – hopefully the first of many that will be run by other folks in the future – and we start taking commercial sign-ups for Small Web places, we should eventually have the money problem solved (because apparently that’s a problem you have to solve to gain the privilege of working for the common good in our world because our system is unabashedly shortsighted).
So, yeah, anyway, g’morning! How’s your day going so far? :)
(You made it this far? You deserve a hug. And don’t worry, I’m just venting. Things will get better. It’s just frustrating swimming upstream all the time.)

UBI attacks the root cause. It’s not a handout—it’s an investment. A society where people aren’t constantly in crisis is a productive society.

Trump call for Gazan exit echoes in destroyed homes
The war has stopped after 16 months, but the destruction left in its wake leaves Palestinians in a daily battle of trying to decide whether to stay or go.Fares Akram (The Japan Times)
After all, even the term terrorism is such a great label - see the saying that:
"Terrorism is the war of the powerless and war is the terrorism of the powerful".
Finaly, I prefer to leave it to people who follow the situation in more detail to argue to the point of blood about who is shedding the blood of the other side more unjustifiably in that area - ideally, of course, people would reject their superior warmongers on both sides.
I was actually most interested in this summary:
"We’re fed mountains of stories by the rich and powerful explaining why things must remain as they are — but they are only stories.
Every #sociopolitical status quo throughout history has had power-serving narratives explaining why things are as they are and justifying why the people in charge live so much more comfortably than the ordinary folks doing the real work in this world. #People used to be told that #kings received their authority directly from God, and were therefore better and more worthy than the unwashed masses. Today we have different rulers with different narratives justifying their rule and explaining why vast inequality is fine and good, but those #narratives are exactly as fictional as the old stories about the divine right of kings.
Today we are trained to believe that the #plutocrats who rule our society attained their vast fortunes through hard work and clever innovation, and are entitled to every penny because they are the most productive members of our society."

Institutionalised cuelty and mistreatment. No wonder people increasingly fear old age and incapacity.
And in England (well the UK as they control all of us at the moment), Labour acquiesce in lonely painful lives and deaths.

Something many of us have recognised for a long time. #capitalism depends on #elites & #social_stratification which makes a mockery of the claims of the #meritocratic right wing b.s. 'they' that would have us believe in upward movement. It has never been harder to climb the 'social ladder' than now.

The New Property Feudalism
After being taught that education and work was the path to ‘getting on’, millennials have learnt the hard way that the vast wealth being inherited by the children of property-owning parents is far more important than any idea of social mobility.tribunemag.co.uk
